"When the decree arrives, don't leave it. Lin Gonggong shouted this sentence for the second time today.

They all knelt down and prepared to hear the old eunuch read his will.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Mo Li young hero, in the border battlefield to kill the enemy bravely, outstanding achievements, and because he is not afraid of life and death, escort the three princes back to Beijing meritorious service, I specially named him as the five-grade ranger general, reward gold 10,000 taels, silver 100,000 taels, and allow him to take a job to study in the National Education Academy. ”

After the will was recited, Mo Li also received the holy decree and kowtowed with everyone.

Mo Li was a little surprised by the position of the fifth-rank ranger general, he thought that even if he had merit in escorting the third prince, he would reward him with some gold and silver at most, and if he was promoted, he would be given an official position from the sixth rank at most.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he was promoted, he would directly change from a seventh-rank captain to a fifth-grade general.

This rose too fast, which made him a little surprised, but these were all begged for him by the three princes, and the three princes told Mo Li's things along the way in front of the emperor, and even said Mo Li's archery skills.

The emperor is also a person who cherishes talents, and he transferred the file in the military department, and saw that Mo Li did have quite a lot of military exploits in the border army, and learned that Mo Li was the son of Mo Ren's enemy, and there was also the recommendation of the three princes. More importantly, the third prince also told the emperor about the Apocalypse Order, which attracted the emperor's attention.

So he promoted Mo Li to general.

It's just that Mo Li is still young, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public if he gives too high a position, and the royal face is not good-looking, so he was named the general of the fifth grade.

Young talents can't be too poor, too poor will be corroded by officialdom and easy to be corrupted, so after being sealed an official position, they must be given some gold and silver to make a living.

Originally, a government should have been given, but since Mo Li was the son of General Huaihua, if he gave him a mansion, it would be equivalent to letting Mo Li be ordered to divide the family, which is equivalent to dividing the relationship between the father and son, which is something that cannot be done for fun.

Since this is the case, then the matter of giving you a degree will be replaced by giving you a degree, and the emperor thought so, so he allowed Mo Li to take his job to study in the National Education Academy.

For the official position of the five products and those gold and silver, although Mo Li was surprised, he didn't care much about these things, and everything could be obtained by killing enemies in the border army for a few years.

On the contrary, Mo Li attaches great importance to the matter of entering the National Education Institute to study, because the library of the Jiang National Education Institute not only has a large collection of books, but also has complete historical materials.

Mo Li was going to go to the state religion to flip through the classics and inquire about the Apocalypse Order, but there was no reaction from that thing since it got into his eyebrows, so he wanted to get information related to the Apocalypse Order.

It's just that if you want to go to the National Academy to consult the classics, not everyone can go, but it is a coincidence that the emperor even gave him the identity of a student of the National Academy of Education.

This is a good thing, it just happened to be Mo Li's intention, with this identity, it is much more convenient to go to the National Education Academy, but while accepting this identity, he has to make him feel that the emperor is also paying attention to the Apocalypse Order.

However, even if the emperor was paying attention to the Apocalypse Order, Mo Li didn't care, because he didn't know what the secret of the Apocalypse Order was.

In short, Mo Li thinks that it is enough to make good use of this identity first, if there is anything really going on, it will be a matter for the future.

After Mo Li received the holy decree, in the face of Gonggong Lin's congratulations, he rewarded a large ingot of silver.

Gonggong Lin let out a long and motherly sound of joy, and after pretending to excuse himself three times, at Mo Li's insistence, he took the silver ingot, and then went back to the palace.

"Li'er, go back to the house with your father?" After Gonggong Lin left, Mo Rendi said to Mo Li.

Some of the younger generations of the Shu family were also sensible, and they all dispersed, leaving only the elders and the father and son in the hall.

"Who are you, do we know each other? Don't confuse your son, I don't know you. Mo Li came to such a sentence lukewarmly.

It's no wonder that Mo Li is like this, when he was a child, Mo Rendi was not a general of Huaihua, so he led troops outside all the year round, and sometimes he didn't see each other once a year.

Mo Li has no mother again, and his life in Mofu can be regarded as hard, he is also the heir of Mofu, but he has even been deducted from eating and drinking, and his school has been suppressed.

All of this is due to Mo Ren's wife, but Mo Rendi has never cared whether Mo Li is doing well, and even in Mo Li's mind, it is estimated that Mo Rendi has forgotten that he has such a son.

At this time, Mo Li's grandfather interrupted: "Li'er, how did you talk to your father?"

"Grandpa, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Mo Li said, "In my impression, there is really no such person. ”

After Mo Li said this, someone from the Shu family came, it was Mo Li's mother's maid Shu Xiaodie.

When Shu Xiaodie came to Shu's house with Grandpa Lin, she also secretly left the Mo Mansion and followed her all the way, and now that she learned that Mo Li had accepted the official position, she mustered up the courage to meet Mo Li.

Shu Xiaodie knelt in front of Mo Li, cried with joy, and said, "Young Master, you are finally back, if Miss knows that you are promising now, she will definitely be proud of you." ”

Seeing Shu Xiaodie kneeling, Mo Li hurriedly helped her up and said, "Aunt Xiaodie, don't kneel, I can't stand it, if you hadn't secretly taken care of me in private and gave me your own food when I was a child, I might have starved to death several times." ”

"Actually, I've always known that every time you give me food, you're hungry yourself. ”

When he said this, Mo Li glared at Mo Ren fiercely.

Hearing Mo Li say these things, Mo Rendi's heart was also complicated, and he even felt ashamed, feeling that he was not worthy of being a father at all.

"Young Master, you are the son of the young lady, this is what I should do. Shu Xiaodie said.

Mo Li helped Shu Xiaodie to sit down on a chair next to him, and said, "Now that I'm back, you don't have to suffer in Mofu, if anyone dares to bully you again, I have to kill him." ”

Twenty years have passed, Shu Xiaodie's hair has turned a lot gray, and with the heavy work she has been doing all year round, she is only in her forties, but she looks older than a woman in her fifties.

The elders of the Shu family watched for a while before recognizing Shu Xiaodie.

"Fluttershy, why are you still alive? When Ying'er died in childbirth, I heard that you felt Ying'er's favor deeply, so you committed suicide with Ying'er. What the hell is going on?"

It was Mo Li's grandfather who spoke, and the Ying'er in his mouth was Mo Li's mother Shu Ying'er.

Hearing this hidden story, not only Mo Li, but even Mo Ren's enemy was surprised, thinking that things should not be so simple.

"Master, when the young master was born, even if the young master is gone, how dare Fluttershy leave the young master and no one to take care of her, and go with the young master!"

When Shu Xiaodie said this, she raised her head slightly, looked at Mo Rendi, and then plucked up the courage to say: "What's more, Miss died in childbirth back then, but there is another secret, and Fluttershy endured it for twenty years, just to wait for the young master to grow up and tell him the truth." ”

Shu Xiaodie looked at Mo Li, and then said, "Now that the young master has grown up and has a future, it's time to tell the truth." ”
